Wine Facts

Winemaker Notes
The Moscato Rosa variety is the closely related, colored version of the Moscato grape. The soil is calcareous white marl, with streaks of sand and sandstone, and the vines have a southeast to western exposure. The grapes are cultivated via the classic Guyot method, and state-of-the-art technology is employed during the winemaking process. After pressing, the must undergoes a short fermentation of 24 hours at low temperatures. Following fermentation the wine is rapidly chilled to a temperature just above freezing to stop the yeast activity and racked off the sediment. Once the wine is ready to ship, a secondary fermentation takes place and the wine is bottled. This winemaking process results in a fresh, bright and aromatic Moscato.
